Copy and paste in table doesn’t work (Publisher on iPad)

[Kamui]

Hello everyone,

I‘m working with publisher on iPad and I’m new with this, so I don’t really know if it is actually a bug or if I’m doing something wrong here. I also dIdn‘t find the case in any support/help pages so far.

I want to copy text content out of some rows in a table column and then paste them across some rows in the next column, but this is not working. The content of the rows is unfortunately merged and put into one cell when pasting.

please see video 

Thanks and best regards

Hi @Kamui,

Welcome to the Affinity Forums & thanks for your report!

I'm getting this logged with our development team as the behaviour doesn't seem quite correct to me - and doesn't match the behaviour on the Desktop.

However in the meantime, you should be able to achieve this by creating your selection of the table cells, Copying, then creating a selection of table cells where you want to paste the content to and then use Paste - you should now find this pastes the data between multiple cells as required:

 

I hope this helps

Thank you, that works! I actually thought I had tried that too, but I guess not.
At least this is a workaround.
